So today, as of this moment, 3:42 PM, and as of the moment I type this, I’m in Lexington, and this time, for once, it’s not for work! (I’ve already been to Carrollton for work once this week). It’s for the semi-annual dentist pilgrimage!

For those of you that don’t know (and that’s prolly more then not), my cousin Brian, after going through school and playing NAIA level basketball, and going to UK Densitry school, he’s now in a practice with his dad-in-law and doing quite well. Thankfully for me and the rest of the family, he’s darn good at what he does too!

So once he got into Dentistry school and it was clear he was going to be a dentist, we switched and started coming down here to go to the dentist as a family (now there’s some scary family bonding for you!), I guess for about four or five years now. And it’s been good, even though I DID find out I had three cavities about two years back (although according to Brian, they were brewing prolly since I was a kid), but that’s all good now.

So I guess in one aspect, the actual trip to the dentist part of the deal is secondary to just meeting back up with friends and talking to people. I’ve had the same hygenist, Nancy, the whole time, and she’s just a sweetheart, was married when I met her, not anymore, has a young girl, so we’re always talking about how we’re each doing, and needless to say, I prolly won’t stop talking about Danielle the entire time I’m talking to her, except when I’m asking how her daughter is (she’s cute as a button!), all of this while I’m being worked on, and prolly most of the time with the tools in my mouth, so it’s gonna come out all garbled and weird sounding.

This is certainly good for my Uncle Wayne … his gift this year was about $5,000 of dental work to fix any problems with his teeth and make them as white and straight as could possibly be. Guess it’s good to have doctors in the family! (I have a cousin who is a dentist and an uncle whom is a general practice doctor in Louisville).

Oh yes … I’m still coughing and sniffling but it’s getting better, thank goodness for the off-brand Sudafed Cold & Cough!
